In response to Iran’s incursion into Pakistani airspace, Islamabad declared on Wednesday that it was removing the Iranian ambassador and calling back its envoy from Tehran. Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch told a press conference in Islamabad, “Pakistan has decided to recall its ambassador from Iran and that the Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan who is currently visiting Iran may not return for the time being.” The event occurred after Tehran, according to Iranian state media, used drones and missiles to demolish the headquarters of a terrorist organisation it said was operating within Pakistani territory called “Green Mountain.” Iran’s action was referred to by Islamabad as a “unprovoked and blatant” infringement of Pakistan’s sovereignty and as a breach of international law.
